Stream videos to 360 with Vuze

Just drop the file into the device manager in Vuze, go to Video Library on your 360, and voila. Only discovered this last night. Stream was pretty stable too, which is amazing, because when I tried to do the same with Media Centre Extender route, it ran like a dog.

If I hadn't gone this route I'm fairly sure I would have wound up having to buy a new Xbox, mouse and keyboard. Probably repair some walls.

I'm lucky in that I can put my PC right next to my TV, which is the only reason why some might prefer to get the 360 to stream. But spending the money on cables is well worth it even if you have to go a longer distance - no transcoding, no shitty library UI and the option to play games as well.

I tried TVersity. My network didn't like it. I got it working once one time, and it seemed good. Then I turned everything off for the night and come the next day everyone forgot they knew each other or that they even existed.

Quite how the 360 has such a problem talking to Windows is a mystery I'm fairly certain no has any idea of the answer to. It's really chronic.
